Just saw this board while stuck in a jam on Rashid Minhas road this evening.
While Dalmia is on the next left turn, Gulshan Chowrangi is NOT!
Directly opposite the Dalmia Road is a Shell fuel station. Further down Rashid Minhas Road is Johar More, followed by NIPA overpass AND THEN Gulshan Chowrangi.

Someone was clearly off their bearings when they placed this board!

    :) Sure seems funny at first glance, but this is a legitimate way of placing direction boards. You point to places that people might want to go next instead of pointing to the immediate location. This way if I’m new to a Karachi, and I don’t know what stands between me and gulshan (be it nipa), I will know to turn right if I want to get to my cousin’s home in gulshan.

    You see this kind of directions everywhere in the Middle East and Europe.
